Katy Perry wants to stay “unaffected” as she turns 30

Katy Perry won’t turn 30 until October, but for some reason she’s already talking about her milestone birthday and all of her hopes and dreams for the next decade.

From People:

“I still feel 13 on the inside,” she says of hitting the milestone in October.

“Birthdays are a big thing for me. We always have a themed party. It’s a good excuse for me to bring my friends together and go buck wild.”

“I just want to be able to continue to stay self-aware and as unaffected as possible,” Perry says. “I just want to stay authentic and keep dreaming my dreams.”

Don’t we all still feel 13 inside? Age ain’t nothin’ but a number, as the old song goes – I don’t feel any older than I ever have, really. Sure, you get more mature and learn to take care of yourself, take responsibility, etc, but you can still have that fun-loving, childish side to you, and that doesn’t go away because another year passes, really.
